Thanks guys! My 1st EXPLORE!

 

Had great fun yesterday creating my Black Friday Pictures thought I'd carry on with the monochrome theme with a few more posts.

In June of 1988 we find the Canadian Nationals roadmasters Fairmont on the set off at Glencoe, Ontario. Everything he would need is on the back of this sport model MT19 steed, track gauge, shovel, bolt wrench, flags, flagger kits and still sporting the winter "ice cutter" wheels on the back for traction.

La storia che non tramonta mai.

Oggi in occasione della Festa dello Sport che si è tenuta in Autodromo a Monza.

I composed this image of dune buggies racing around sand dunes while visiting Utah's Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park.

 

I had been contemplating initiating a self-imposed photography challenge: "Create a Photograph that Begets a Question." I decided this image would meet that challenge. The question? Is driving a dune buggy around sand dunes a sport? If not, what is it?

 

Fot those interested, here is more information about dune buggies.

 

A dune buggy — also known as a beach buggy — is a recreational off-road vehicle with large wheels, and wide tires, designed for use on sand dunes, beaches, off-road or desert recreation. The design is usually a topless vehicle with a rear-mounted engine. A dune buggy can be created by modifying an existing vehicle or custom-building a new vehicle.

 

Dune buggies are typically created by modifying an existing road vehicle, while sandrails are built from the ground up as a custom vehicle.

 

For dune buggies built on the chassis of a rear-engined existing vehicle, the Volkswagen Beetle has been most commonly used as the basis for the buggy. The Beetle platform chassis is used because the rear engine layout improves traction, the air-cooled engine avoids the complexities and failure points associated with a water-cooled engine, the Beetle's front torsion bar suspension is not only considered cheap and robust, but is also extremely easy to alter and adjust its ride-height.

 

A sandrail is a lightweight vehicle similar to a dune buggy, but designed specifically for operation on open sand.

Sandrails are usually built as a spaceframe by welding steel tubes together. The name sandrail is due to the frame "rails" present. The advantage of this method is that the fabricator can change fundamental parts of the vehicle (usually the suspension and addition of a built-in roll cage). Sandrails, as per dune buggies, often have the engine located behind the driver. Sizes can vary from a small-engine one-seat size to four-seat vehicles with eight or more cylinders.
